Dead at Heart
Now that she was sure Janice had been safely evacuated, she had to find a way to contact Jayson.
But when she picked up her phone, she saw the screen had gone completely black. After being dropped twice, her phone was totally dead.
Cold sweat formed on her temple. Forcing herself to calm down, she turned to the local man escorting her and asked in fluent Merinian, "Can I borrow your phone, please?"
He was part of the local partner unit and was easy to talk to. He handed Ariel his not-so-smart phone without hesitation.
Ariel had been smart and sharp all her life, with an almost photographic memory, so Jayson's number was etched in her mind.
